Time to go Goody?
He’s been in the box all season so far. Probably because he needs to be better across what Jonesy is doing up there. That aside, I refuse to indulge the rest of your argument, except to say that yes, Goodwin is trying his hardest. And that’s the problem.

Thanks for the response Andy. Hmmm, I wonder if people who own a twatter account don’t have the same issue. Anyway, don’t go to any lengths to appease that company, if that’s what’s required.

Anybody else just seeing a white square when people are posting links/screenshots?

Sorry, not suggesting you go away for our benefit. I’m just saying that if I were of your mindset I’d probably stay away from here for my own sanity.

“Boring” is one word for it, I guess. Macca, might I kindly suggest that if you’re so vehemently of the opinion that Goodwin is not the problem (or at least a significant part of it) then this thread might not be for you?

If you believe that history repeats, then going by our current trajectory it will be Langford and Lindsay as “co-captains”.

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Gold Coast
The loss of Gus Brayshaw can never be understated. His on-field presence was enormous. Non-stop vocal encouragement and support, and crucially, he was very good at it. Bright guy and got his messages across eloquently and sharply. Would simply not have allowed as many hung heads during the game as we saw last Saturday. The club is sorely lacking in that kind of energy (dare I say, “vibe”) now, and it’s no coincidence that it noticeably plummeted, and has yet to recover, since the poor guy was taken off the ground. Max, we know, has always possessed those same qualities but I can’t help but think he’s feeling lonely out there without Gus.

There is something deeply amiss within the culture of this club.

According to the article, Toby Greene has taken up a politics degree. Let’s hope he never finds an application for it.

Sorry, are there people here who don’t pick and choose when to go to games?

From where I sat, all I saw was an average team being allowed to live out their fantasies courtesy of another team who couldn’t hit any targets and were constantly caught flat-footed. Very little about the Roos impressed me, quite a lot about the Demons depressed me.

POSTGAME: Rd 02 vs North Melbourne
Sluggish, uninspired and almost depressed-looking team out there today. Roos fans in the crowd were asking who Chandler was all game. He was the only player they noticed, as we were otherwise invisible. As much as we’d like to hope the Roos are some kind of surprise package this year, they aren’t. Still plenty they need to fix and a lot of it was on display today. And yet they beat us by 59 points. So much to dislike about what happened. Set shots were a disaster. JVR, Langdon, Sharp, Fritsch all missing absolute gimmes. Players totally lacking spatial awareness and moving like treacle under the pump, constantly choosing the wrong option or butchering the right ones. This was definitely a game for Campbell. Gawn needs cover. That team looked genuinely uninspired out there, and I believe that a lot of that is down to an uninspiring coach. I don’t question his commitment or intent. I do believe he takes the job with all the seriousness and dedication it requires. But I have thought for a long time now that he lacks the ability to inspire with his words, and the emotional/psychological nous to get the best out of his players, and to work with coaching staff/press etc. And at times like this, those kinds of skills are crucial. I fear that we’re really in for it this year, and it will be a new coach next year or sooner.
